During theTNA Wrestling tapings after Bound for Glory on October 27 last year, Chris Beysuffered a serious neck injury near the end of a tag team match. Several months have passed since the injury, and Bey has now admitted that his future in pro wrestling is uncertain.
While speaking to Chris Van Vliet, Chris Bey was asked if there was a chance he would wrestle again following his injury. After his surgery, he initially accepted that his career was over. Lying in bed, unable to move from the neck down, he felt like he had already passed away.
The overwhelming love and support he received online reminded Bey of how people get their flowers after theyre gone. Messages poured in from fans and even people he never imagined would reach out. Tribute videos were made, and it felt like he was watching his life from the outside as if his journey had already ended.
Wrestling had been his whole life and he loved it, and it still meant everything to him, but in that moment Bey let it go. He started thinking about his future since he wanted a family someday, something he never considered when he was younger. Now at 29, it was important to him. The idea of never being able to walk, run, or play with his future kids made him sad, but it also pushed him to keep going.
Chris Bey stated that he had an amazing eight-year wrestling career, accomplishing more than he ever imagined. He made an impact, trained and inspired others, and lived his dream. If it had to end there, he could accept it. His priority was to walk again and regain his independence.
Chris Bey noted that he is walking and back in the gym. He recently asked his partner if he would wrestle again one day since he is still young. He believes that if he took a few years off and came back in his mid-30s, it could happen since others have done it before. Nothing is impossible, and Bey believes that maybe this is just the beginning of a great comeback. However, Bey made it clear he wont be returning to wrestling anytime soon.
Chris Beys journey is not over, whether in wrestling or something else. His strength and determination continue to inspire fans as he works on his recovery. Only time will tell if he will be able to return to the ring in the future since it remains uncertain at the moment.
